How far have you driven in one shot? - Page 4

I drove from Whidbey Island, Washington to San Diego. Took me about 20-21 hours. I also did the return leg in one shot. However the return leg was after a week of survival training where I was food and sleep deprived. I got one night of sleep and headed back up. The hallucinations started about the time I crossed over the Washington border and I am frankly amazed that I lived through that return trip.

Couple buddies and I went to the US Open this past summer. Started in Des Moines, went down to Wichita to pick up a friend, and then over to North Carolina. Lots and lots of great memories from that trip.

My dad, who was born in 1939, recently went from oklahoma to eastern PA in one shot. He flew to NM to buy a car, stopped one night in OK then said fug it and finished the trip the very next day. He must have liked the car.

Cleveland to Lake Tahoe. My friend and I switched off driving though, and we stopped to watch the Miami v. Ohio State national championship game at a bar.

I once drove from Austin Texas to just outside Chicago Illinois non-stop. I finally pulled over and checked into a hotel to sleep, after dozing at the wheel and spinning out the car. Stupid days.

Tucson to west-central Illinois, apporx. 1700 miles, 26 hours, 4 quick stops for gas. I will never do something that stupid again (I hope).

Fort Worth to Phoenix.

It was about 16 hours, not torture, but I only stopped for gas. No food, no bathroom.

21 hours. Orlando, FL to Portland, ME. I intended to stop somewhere and sleep, but I just never felt like it. I was young and driving long distances was no big deal. Not anymore. Anything over 5 hours and I'm flying.
